Client Review

Christine, a first-time mom, struggled with painful breastfeeding due to her baby’s shallow latch. Exhausted, she reached out for help.
In our session, I guided her through different positions until we found one that worked. The pain eased instantly, and her baby latched deeply for the first time. Christine felt better. But since her nipples still feel a little sore and sensitive, we came up with a plan to slowly transition to the breasts.
Chrisrine是位新手媽媽, 由於寶寶含乳不深, 她在哺乳時感到疼痛不已。精疲力竭的她, 最終尋求幫助。
在我們的對話當中, 我引導她嘗試不同的哺乳姿勢, 直到找到最適合的方式。疼痛有所緩解, 寶寶開始也比較深地含乳。
Christine 感到鬆了一口氣, 但是因為媽媽的乳頭還是比較敏感, 所以我鼓勵Christine一天從親餵幾次開始, 慢慢 開始增加親為次數。如果你認真的想為母乳, 請私信我們 安排免費資訊

Jeff Wu’s Testimonial Video

One of my clients Jeff had been struggling with diabetes and his health was declining, his wife also has high cholesterol. Jeff’s HbA1c level was 10.5 when he first came to me, which is very high. He was resistant to see a doctor or track his blood sugar, which caused conflicts in his family. His daughter wanted to support him, but nothing seemed to work — until they found me.
Since I speak Mandarin and i also have a family history of diabetes, i was able to relate. This helped Jeff feel understood and more open to change. We worked together for 6 months. He learned how different foods affect his body, the portion he needs, the order of food groups he should eat, the importance of snacking and many skills including how to read food label. Jeff’s HbA1c dropped from 10.5 to 7.1 and eventually down to 6! He also learned how to enjoy his favorite foods in a healthier way, and I shared different diabetes-friendly recipes with him that he actually likes. Additionally, his wife was able to reverse her high cholesterol as well.
Now, health is a happy topic in their home. Jeff feels proud of managing his blood sugar, and his wife makes her own bread with almond flour and pasta with lupin flour. Their family got closer and healthier because of this health journey they went on.

我的一位客戶Jeff一直在與糖尿病作鬥爭, 他的健康狀況每況愈下, 他的太太也有高膽固醇。當他第一次來找我時, 他的 HbA1c 水平是 10.5,非常高。他拒絕看醫生或追蹤血糖, 這導致了他的家庭矛盾。他的女兒想支持他, 但似乎沒有任何作用——直到他們找到了我。
因為我會說普通話, 而且我也有糖尿病家族史, 這讓Jeff感到被理解並且更願意接受改變。 他們參加了我的計劃 6 個月。他了解了不同食物如何影響他的身體, 他需要的份量, 他應該吃的食物組的順序, 吃健康小食的重要性以及包括如何閱讀食品標籤在內的許多技能。 Jeff 的 HbA1c 從 10.5 降至 7.1, 最終降至 6.0!他還學會如何以更健康的方式享受他最喜歡的食物,我與他分享了很多他喜歡的糖尿病食譜。
現在, 健康成了他們家的快樂話題。Jeff為控制自己的血糖感到自豪, 他的妻子用杏仁粉自製麵包, 用羽扇豆粉製作義大利麵。由於這次健康之旅, 他們的家人變得更加親密和健康。

A lot of people want to feel good, be in optimal shape, and have more energy, but many people don’t want to do the work or take care of their body because they think it’s too hard or too much work. Instead, they try quick fixes that cost money, mess up their metabolism, and leave them feeling worse.

The truth? Getting healthy does take effort—but the key is putting that effort in the right place. The best way to do that? Work with a coach. A coach helps you figure out what your body needs, gives you a plan that actually works, and saves you time and stress.

High and Low FODMAP Foods 高和低 FODMAP 食物

If you often feel bloated, gassy, or uncomfortable after eating, your diet could be a key factor—especially if you have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The FODMAP diet is designed to help identify foods that may be triggering your digestive distress, so you can make adjustments and feel more at ease.

But it’s not just about making the right food choices—it’s about having the right support. Navigating a Low FODMAP diet can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. This isn’t a diet you have to stay on forever—after the elimination phase, there’s a reintroduction phase to help you understand which foods work for your body.

If you need guidance through the elimination and reintroduction phases, we’re here to help! Please fill out the application below to schedule a FREE discovery call. Sophiehung.com/work-with-us

如果你經常在飯後感到脹氣, 腹脹或不適, 你的飲食可能是關鍵因素, 特別是如果你患有腸躁症 (IBS) 。FODMAP飲食專為幫助識別可能引發消化不適的食物而設計, 讓你能夠調整飲食, 減少不適, 感覺更輕鬆。

但這不僅僅是選擇正確的食物, 還需要合適的支持。遵循低FODMAP飲食可能讓人感到不知所措, 但你並不需要獨自面對。此外, 這並不是一種需要長期堅持的飲食——在完成初步的排除階段後, 還有重新引入食物的階段, 幫助你了解哪些食物最適合你的身體。

如果你需要指導來順利度過排除和重新引入階段, 我們隨時為你提供幫助!請填寫以下的申請表以方便安排免費諮詢。https://sophiehung.com/work-with-us-chinese/

Question of the Day

 

Are you tired of feeling bloated, gassy, and uncomfortable related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)?
The Low FODMAP diet helps with IBS, but it’s not a cure-all for bloating. Stress, food intolerances, or gut imbalances could be the real issue.

您是否厭倦與腸躁症 (IBS) 相關的腹脹, 脹氣和不舒服?請在以下留言 ⬇️
